this really affected me when reading it because i often worry over just this for the boy i look after who is my heart and i always pray he makes his way like the end of your poem-it is great that you voiced this.

Intense yet moving at the same time. Role models such as Colin Powell and Obama should be kept in focus for the young black males to emulate, which is crucial I'd say.

Powerful statements. Is it possible that we are reaching a crossroads and the world of this poem will start to change taking several decades and generations to make it happen? Are we finally there with this Presidential election? Are we evolving into something better? We can hope.

A cry for help that's heartbreaking; I trust this is fiction, if not God is there, and He does hear. Holly

Finally - a writing with value - meaning.

Children - our future. I am glad you took the time to articulate the plight of so many. It is truly our responsibility to take these "diamonds in the rough" and make them sparkle! You "done good." God bless you. Kathy

Exceptional! I have worked with inner city kids for many years, as well as youth detention situations. This was right on the mark. Thank you SO much for writing this poem. I hope you continue to polish these gems. God Bless.

We can take the view of this poem and reflect upon the greatness of one's capabilities, even within the ghetto, and see the Light and the caring of the Lord...
nice work...

Stand (Poetry) - 8/23/2007 4:21:32 PM
There is power in 'to stand' - i liked the first part of your poem especially, and like others have said it is an uplifting write - i don't express my idea of God in the way you have, but the sentiments and idea of faith and grace, waiting for a renewed faith and purpose from a place of doubt, standing, still, not running (beepbeep Roadrunner!) is something i can relate to very strongly - enjoyed your poem, thank you - Nicky x

Stand (Poetry) - 8/23/2007 9:38:02 AM
Thank you for this work. This is very uplifting and made my day reading these words. "In standing I became vistorius.", words we should all live by and have faith in.

Im uplifted, thanks K L, I felt immediate upliftment. Strangely, it is my situation exactly recently and this very situation has been in my mind and heart. {umm-- perhaps there was a guiding hand leading me to click on your poem today - since there are so many good ones on this site!] I'll be reading.

Black Man... Arise! (Poetry) - 8/10/2007 9:57:29 PM
This has been my prayer. So many black men have left their families, refuse to work and won't step foot in God's house. I often wonder what the future holds for black women. We are ranking number one in hiv/aid cases. A lot of black males are contracting hiv/aids in prison and spreading it in our communities. My heart cries out to God. It's all I can do.
Thanks for sharing this.
God bless you.

powerful and well composed piece of work here. Indeed, a reader can replace a word or two and make this their own...which is, in this man's opinion, one of the hallmarks of good verse.
